Hello everyone. A couple of days ago I finally managed to make some time and go to a musical store to try IMR BC 2023. Well... It took me around 5 minutes to pretty clearly decide that I don't like them and I don't need them. It's pretty much the DM, but a little better. There's still bright upper mids, kinda shy treble... It's just not that extremely bright. There's also more punchy midbass, but overall the bass is not at the same level than 7Hz Legato bass is. And actually, all that situation probably nullifies the IMR products for me. After Bob went from 14 mm to 11 mm driver, the bass is not that monstrous anymore. Maybe it's more about quality now, not quantity. But I'm a pure basshead, I don't care about quality bass in the first place, when there's no quantity to rattle my skull. So, I guess, from now on, I'm done with IMR.

I doubt it was. And it's even worse like that, because I remember that DM had a pretty massive bass when it was new, but when it were burned in the bass became less prominent. If this applies to BC, then that's even more dissapointing.

I had similar experience with OG Elan and EDP Ace. After burn in, about 300-400 hours, the bass is gone and I disliked the sound and even thought of selling the iem, but after 200 hours of additional burn in, the base was come back to normal quantity.
So, overall at least of 600 hours of burn in is needed for those new DD.

I agree with you, the new models with 10-11mm drivers are not so impressive in sub-base region as Athen-based models.
I think, the reason can also be a newly introduced air vent on the inner part of shell, which decreases the base depth by some margin.

It's super strange, the Na-Le and Zion "Tracking will start to be uploaded towards the end of next week" according to website. But I haven't received any request to pay the second part of Zion payment yet. Has anyone paid the full 2 payments for Zion?
It looks very shady to me and seems Zion is nowhere near to release.
I hope IMR will get rid of this pre-order crap and will start making actual products, available to buy from shop.

I bought the Aten protype off Bob on eBay as my wife nicked my original off me and WOW! It's amazing, way better than the copy I "lost" right across the board. Sweet bass l, fab mids and sparkling treble.
I've been listening to it for 3 days so far and it's definitely in the top 5 IMRs I own.
There's no way I'm letting her listen to it the bonus being it's in the Opus Mia shell so she'll never know

I'm surprised you don't rate the BC 2023. I've had the BC 2023 and the 7hz Legato, side by side, since their beginnings, and the BC has much 'better' bass to my ears. My 'burned' in BC 2023 has amazing bass in both quality and quantity.

But the guy I bought rah off said it was his absolute favorite imr and he said the aten driver was the sweet sauce. And I enjoy it but for whatever reason I just like edp ace more with its “muffled clarity” sound lol
